Спортсмены, тренеры, команды:
 1967- 1990 - в России
- 4 Oлимпиады
 1991- 2011 - в Финляндии - 8 Oлимпиад
Основные виды спорта:

Спортивная психология - тенденции в
прошлом
1. Акцент на проблемах:
 стресс-реакции
 тревога
 мертвая точка

коррекция недостатков
2. Групповые сравнения:
 акцент на средних, успешных и неуспешных,

игнорирование внутриинд. динамики
Спортивная психология сейчас
1. Акцент на позитивном:
 выявление инд. ресурсов (strengths)
 использование стресса
 оптимизация деятельности
2. Главный акцент на индивиде:
 индивидуально лучший уровень

стабильность и внутри-инд. динамика
* Hanin, 2000, 2003
Психологическая подготовка систематическое использование
психологических процессов чтобы влиять
на мысли, эмоции, мотивацию, поведение,
действия, и общение спортсмена (или
команды) в специфическом контексте.
* Hanin, 1997
Психологическая подготовка
Общая
Специальная
• умения и навыки
• качества
• черты
• готовность
Успех в спорте/жизни
Стабильность
• ситуативный успех
• выполнение задачи
Optimal Performance:
1. Is based on own strengths
2. Uses personal resources effectively
3. Adjustable under different & difficult conditions
4. Provides tools for personal control
5. Helps to avoid trying too much
6. Involves a skill to deal with the unexpected
7. Helps to re-focus when distracted
8. Consistent performance (PB, SB, top 5)

High performance variability in practices

Best results usually in minor competitions
Stress-induced instability of technique
“Lost move syndrome” (LMS) (a ”break-down”)
Habitual (learned) performance errors
Post-injury impact on skill execution
Physical shape (over-development of qualities)
Over-loaded by too many changes

Emotion-centered Coping
 To prevent overreaction to competitve stress
 To reinforce situational success
 To deal with unexpected distractions
 To get ”psyched up” & mobilized
 To calm down after unexpected success
 To calm down after situational failure
 To deal with potential problems

Striving for excellence in shooting
N=15 elite Italian shooters (2f & 3m carbine & 5f & 5m pistol)
Age 20-47 (M=27.9, SD=8.1) preparing for London 2012 Olympics
Method: The ICC-based 4-step procedure to identify full shooting sequence
& testing chain components in practice & during simulated competition.
#1 Describe usual optimal sequence (chain of actions) of a single shot from
start to follow-through.
#2 Identify 3-4 most important ( & sensitive ) components (breathing control,
gun alignment and sight, and trigger pull.
#3 Self-assessments of accuracy & ”supervision” of core components with
minimum conscious control under optimal conditions in practices.
#4 Assessment of core components under stress & fatigue to be ”mindully
accepted”. Attention is focused on individual’s core components.

The overall results of the intervention
1. Before the intervention most shooters were not fully
aware of the core components of their action (H-1)
2. Accurately identified core components were related to
shooting outcomes (H-2)
3. Accurate execution of the individual core components
of the shooting action contrasts the dysfunctional effects of
distress (H-3)
4. These beneficial effects were not observed in shooters
who did not undergo the intevention (H-4)

Breast-stroke chain (JH)
 Ote kiinni (захват)
 Kiihtyvä sisääntuonti (гребок с ускорением)
 Suoraan palautukseen (возврат вперёд)
 Vartalo jousi (верх тела стрелой)
 Sähäkkä potku (энергичный толчёк)
 Jalat vartalon takana (ноги сзади)
 Teho (интенсивность)
 Toistuvuus (стабильность цикла)
33
”Turn” chain (JH)
 osuminen seinään (касание стенки)
 nopea pyöräminen (быстрый поворот)
 vahva ponnistus (сильный толчок)
 purevat potkut (энергичная рабта ног)
 hyvä pintautuminen (выход на поверхность)
 kokonaisuus (целостность)
34
Components of Optimal Swimming
 Vartalo (тело)
 Käsiveto (гребок)
 Siisteys ja kokonaisuus (точность и целостность)

Performance Errors
a mistake, or inaccuracy, or
incorrectness (in action, activity)
the condition of deviating from
accuracy, correctness, or some
standard of a task execution
(Collins English Dictionary. 3rd Ed., 1991, p. 528)
Two strategies in learning motor tasks
Error & trial strategy
Error-free strategy
* errors are ignored
* errors are not discouraged,
* errors are not punished,
* errors are encouraged
* new learning opportunities
* new experiences (+ -)
* errors are immediately noticed
* errors are discouraged
* errors are punished
* errors are minimized
* errors are avoided
* errors are prevented
Expected outcomes:
Expected outcomes:
+ Learning to adjust,
+ Benefit in future situations (transfer)
+ Learning based on natural strengths
- Errors can become consistent
- Getting it right the 1st time?
- No need for adjustment ?
- Learning the right way?
- Less problem with correction?
Conventional skill correction
1. Explain what & why the athlete is doing wrong
2. Improve the athlete’s awareness of doing wrong
3. Show the right way & explain why this way is better
4. Ask the athlete to copy it
5. Provide corrective feedback and reinforcement
6. Get the athlete to practice, practice, and practice
Maschette (1985): Re-teaching pattern

”Old”
Correct
”New”
Conventional error correction
Retention and forgetting
Proactive inhibition (PI) is a negative effect of
a learned task on retention of a new task

Retroactive inhibition (RI) is a condition when a recently
learned task impairs the retention of an older learned tasks

in error correction
Learning Trial in Practice
1. Error analysis (coach + athlete)

Consistent vs. random,
 Major - unimportant,
 Single-multiple
Learning Trial in Practice
2. Learning Trial Session
 Developing awareness of own old way
 Developing awareness of the new way
 The practice of differences
 The practice of the new way
Learning Trial in Practice
3. Summary + home work
 Explaining mechanisms
 Expected results
 Handling spontaneous recovery
Extended intervention procedure:
 Error identification from best-worst performances
 Old Way as an erroneous movement pattern
 Causes & effects of the Old Way are identified
 New Way as an individually optimal movement pattern
 Learning Trial (LT) for a rapid & permanent change
 Post-LT standardization & stabilization of a New Way
